All my father's legacy
Is handed down by angel wings
A bittersweet melody is now mine to sing
Every precious memory
And broken hearted tragedy
Will walk into eternity
But not fade away

If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow any more
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return

How'd you get so far away
So suddenly evaporate?
Fortune smiles with teeth of jade
And the greediest eyes
How I long for that embrace
The strongest arms and troubled face
Smokey air and awkward grace
That make me feel safe

If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow any more
I promise to teach what I have learned
If you will go and not return

Who was it that said to me
That heroes will live forever?
And where are they now
Now that I'm standing alone?

If you will go and not return
Leave me some words of wisdom
If I cannot follow any more
I promise to teach what I have learned
